North Liberty Leader

IOWA CITY– The West High Women of Troy maintained their perfect record in the 2015-2016 season, improving to 6-0 with a 63-12 blowout over the Waterloo East Lady Trojans on Tuesday, Dec. 15, at West High.
While it was an easy win for West, it wasn’t a perfect game.
“Those games are hard to play,” West coach B.J. Mayer said afterward. “I think we kind of thought, maybe, we’re better than them, so sometimes when that happens… you play sloppier, or like you don’t have to concentrate as much.”

TIFFIN– A 20-point first quarter gave the Clear Creek Amana Clippers clear sailing to a WaMaC conference win Friday, Dec. 18, at home as the South Tama Trojans were sunk, 59-39. Cal Miller and Jake Neubauer each sank a 3-pointer in the first period, with Miller also scoring on a steal and easy layup. Late in the period, Evan Downes swiped the ball and took off down court for two of his eight points.

North Liberty Leader
CORALVILLE– West High’s swim team remained undefeated Tuesday, Dec. 15, after sinking the Cougars of Cedar Rapids Kennedy, 110-60, at the Coralville Recreation Center.
Lane Griffis won the 200- and 500-freestyle events, Mark McGlaughlin won the 200-individual medley and 100-freestyle while Will Scott won the 50-freestyle and 100-butterfly and Ben Berhow took the 100-breaststroke.
McGlaughlin, Aidan Keen, Scott and Brennon Keen won the 200-freestyle relay while Scott, Aidan Keen, McGlaughlin and Noah Bruns won the 400-freestyle relay.

NORTH LIBERTY– North Liberty will officially join the hunt for land on which to place a dog park.
North Liberty Parks and Recreation Board members and the North Liberty City Council met in a joint work session Dec. 3 to review a draft of an updated Parks Comprehensive Plan, and informally added an off-leash dog park as a priority.

IOWA CITY – The Liberty Lightning will strike a year early for some North Liberty student athletes.
The Liberty High School transition team outlined its plan for athletics for the Iowa City Community School District Board of Directors on Dec. 8. Under the plan, Liberty-bound students involved in athletics will be able to practice as Lightning Bolts in the 2016-17 school year—a full year before Liberty High School actually opens.
Matt Degner, the district’s director of schools, presented the update to the board.

NORTH LIBERTY– For most of us, the holiday season represents a time for family festivities and good cheer. What few consider is the holiday season is a time when there is an increased risk of home fires. According to North Liberty Fire Department (NLFD), many households engage in holiday activities that serve as some of the leading causes of U.S. home fires, including cooking. Christmas trees, candle usage and holiday decorations significantly contribute to the seasonal causes of home fires.

TIFFIN– The Christmas season can be challenging for those who are grieving the loss of a loved one. It may not be easy to sing, “Joy to the World,” when you are feeling lonely. Tiffin Grace United Methodist Church, 300 W. Marengo Rd. in Tiffin, is holding its annual Blue Christmas Worship Service on Sunday, Dec. 20, at 6 p.m. This quieter Christmas worship service is designed for those struggling to celebrate the season due to grief or loss.
For information regarding this special service, contact the church office at 319-545-2281 or revbev@southslope.net.

NORTH LIBERTY— The City of North Liberty recognized three employees for their outstanding service.
Director of Parks, Buildings and Grounds Guy Goldsmith was named Employee of the Year. He was cited for his commitment to excellence, willingness to work across departments to achieve goals, as well as finding creative ways to save taxpayers’ money.
“He doesn’t seek recognition. He doesn’t receive the accolades he has worked so hard to be worthy of. He’s just always there ready to lend a helping hand. He simply makes it happen,” said City Administrator Ryan Heiar, who presented the award.

Pet Health Center of Tiffin is open and ready to care for your furry folks

TIFFIN— Pets are often more than just furry or feathered friends; to many, they’re family.
For decades people took their pets to the Oxford Veterinary Clinic in Oxford, where veterinarians such as Dr. Bill Rugger, Dr. Kristi Anderson, Dr. Jonelle Hankner, Dr. Susan Kula (Jacobson) and Dr. Nicole Kogan cared for a variety of creatures, both large and small. The Oxford clinic is now history, replaced by a new, state-of-the-art facility on the west side of Tiffin.
